The thing to remember about the Southern Hemisphere (i.e. Australiaand Peru) and the Northern Hemisphere (i.e.North America, Europe, China and Japan) is that seasons are inverted so, you'll be vacationing during their low season which means cheaper airfare, fewer crowds and affordable hotel accommodation.

Below, I have for you some of the best destinations in February in the Southern Hemisphere to enjoy a great vacation.

Top of my list is Costa Rica, one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world, especially amongst adventure travelers.

Costa Rica offers great opportunities for fun adventurous activities like canopy tours and jungle treks through the jungle, especially during the dry season, which makes Costa Rica one of the best destinations in February to head to.

If you've ever wanted to enjoy a vacation in Costa Ricavacation, February is truly one of the best times to explore this beautiful country.

Known as the country 'down under', there is no doubt that Australia is one of the best destinations in February in the Southern Hemisphere.

Australia's beautiful beaches are plentiful and amazing, and the coolest thing is that Australia also offers plenty of opportunities for fun and adventurous activities like trekking the Australian outback, or enjoying scuba diving trips.

In fact, diving and snorkeling are two of the most popular things to do in Australia, and there is no better place for this than along the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns Queensland.

In the other hand, if you want to enjoy a relaxing time at the beach or enjoy city attractions, you have places such as Sydney, which is one of the most stunning and attraction-packed destinations in New South Wales.

New Zealand

A general misconception about New Zealand is that it is the same country as Australia.

There are certainly similarities between the two countries, but New Zealand retains many unique cultural differences and traditions that sets it apart from Australia such as the Maori culture.

If you are traveling to New Zealand for the first time, you'll soon notice the distinct accent New Zealanders have, as well as the unique unspoiled and stunning landscape that makes New Zealand one of the best destinations in February.

New Zealand boasts snow-capped mountains, lakes and forests where you can enjoy white skiing, hiking and canoeing. If you intend to do whale watching in New Zealand, head to the town of Kaikoura, located on the south east coast, as it is an ideal place to catch a glimpse of these magnificent creatures.

A New Zealand holiday is not all about outdoors though. For instance, Auckland is a cosmopolitan city where you can enjoy an array of activities that include shopping, dining and night entertainment.

For instance, if you love trekking and exploring the outdoors, Salta Argentina is nearby the magnificent Andes Mountains, which are a popular destination for trekkers and adventurous hikers looking to enjoy an excursion of some sort.

If you are fancy a city vacation and are looking to learn more about Argentinean culture, the capital city of Buenos Aires is one of the best places to enjoy city tours to explore the charming Argentinean barrios.
